The department is encouraging officials in affected MI counties to consider postponing, rescheduling or cancelling outdoor activities occurring at or after dusk, particularly activities that involve children, until there's a hard frost.
A MI artist who died after he contracted the uncommon Jap equine encephalitis virus from a mosquito chunk "went from perfectly healthy to brain dead" in 9 days, a report mentioned.
A man from Manchester-by-the-Sea has contracted Eastern Equine Encephalitis, becoming the state's ninth confirmed case of the virus, officials said Wednesday. There are at least 20 cases across five states.
He told the station that his brother had a seizure and "next thing you know, he's in the ER and he just never came out of it".
Inflammation of the brain leads to death in about one-third of cases, and people who do survive are often left with brain damage.
To avoid contracting the disease, officials advise against unnecessary trips into mosquito breeding grounds and marshes as the mosquitoes that transmit EEE virus are associated with freshwater swamps and are most active at dusk and dawn.
In addition to MI, a handful of states, including New York, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and MA have seen an uptick in cases, bringing this year's total to 73.
